Publication Fee
International Journal of Social Sciences and Business Research (IJSSBR) maintains a transparent publication fee policy to support editorial processing, production, online publication and long-term accessibility of scholarly research.
Publication Fee
Please replace the amount above with the official IJSSBR publication fee applicable to accepted manuscripts.
Fee Policy
Where applicable, IJSSBR charges an Article Processing Charge (APC) to support the costs associated with manuscript processing, editorial administration, production, online publication, website maintenance and long-term access to published content.
Submission and Peer Review
Submission of a manuscript and payment of any publication-related fee do not guarantee acceptance. All manuscripts are evaluated according to the journal's editorial and peer-review policies, academic merit, originality and relevance to the journal's scope.
What the Publication Fee Supports
✓ Publication workflow and production support
✓ Article formatting and online publication
✓ Journal website and publishing platform maintenance
✓ Metadata preparation and scholarly discoverability
✓ Digital preservation and long-term accessibility
✓ Administrative support for published articles
Payment of Publication Fee
Where a publication fee applies, authors will be informed of the applicable amount and payment procedure by the journal. Authors should make payments only through the official payment instructions provided by IJSSBR or its publisher.
Editorial Independence
Publication fees are separate from editorial decision-making. Decisions regarding acceptance, revision or rejection are based on academic quality, peer-review outcomes, ethical compliance and relevance to the journal. Payment does not influence editorial decisions.
Additional Charges
Any optional charges, such as printed copies, special production services or delivery costs, where available, are separate from the standard publication fee and will be communicated to the author before such services are provided.
Refunds
Requests relating to refunds of publication-related payments are handled according to the journal's official Refund Policy. Authors are encouraged to review that policy before making a payment.
Transparent Publication Charges
IJSSBR is committed to providing clear information about publication-related charges and maintaining separation between financial transactions and independent editorial decision-making.
